September 2007

So, the leach field was beyond salvage. We have no choice but to put her out to pasture. As of this morning, our toilet is again non-functioning. It lasted approximately 48 hours. Now I am back to the yellow beast in the barn. So if posts are slow and not very entertaining you will know why. I lose some of m shimmer when I keep having to run way over there to the cold, dark barn. Catch ya on the flip side.

I want you to. I want it in a way that is crazy and unnatural. I find that very fascinating.

I am interesting. I admit my story is unfolding slowly, but it is still interesting.

I am starting to take better and better pictures. I love my new camera and I am having a blast discovering how to use it to express my creativity. You want to see fun photography, you know you do.

My family is frustrating and different.

I have never been shy and this is like sharing my journal with everyone I know or don’t know.

You can influence someone you have never met. You can post comments and share your wisdom and stories.

The world is getting big and scary. This little (ha ha) blog world is a way for us all to connect and become a type of community that could help make the world a better place.

It allows the voyeur in you to investigate someone elses life without guilt.

It is fun. It is sad. It is frustrating. It is love. It is fleeting. It is stability. It is real.

I want to be rich and famous. You reading my 365 Project won’t help that, but I just wanted to put it that notion out to the universe.

You pity me. You read this stuff and you say to yourself…”she really needs complete strangers to validate her own life?”. Yes, I do. So throw me a pity party in the comment section for the next 365 days. You are all nice life that.

What else do you have to do? Seriously, you don’t have a life outside the internet do you? I can help you kill more time on here and I will make the popcorn.

If you don’t visit, I might get distracted and spend too much time watching senseless television shows, eating bon bons, raising my blood suger and getting fat. Then I might get sick and die. The end.

The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!View More Thursday Thirteen Participants

Are you scared? You should be. I am telling you…all you people who come and visit my blog (who I really, really appreciate in spite of the fact that I am going to threaten you now), you are not visiing my 365 Project. Puulease come see. I am journaling my daily life and baring my soul. Come see and comment. Because I am comment hungry like that. I know I am a ho-bag, but I am an honest ho-bag. Now go visit my 365 Project and read all the posts and comment.

Or, I will come to your house and I will grab your hands and I will force your fingers to push the keyboard buttons. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

It’s true that she is hands down more talented a writer than I, she puts into words my 18 years as a non-Mormon in Utah exactly how I would have written it if I was that funny or creative all those years ago, she is the way I found out what the HEdoubletoothpicks a blog was and is the reason I am here. But I have to say, my kids would not stop harrassing me about how great Chuck is!!!! And since I currently own 7 dogs, I felt bad that none of my dogs could compare to CHUCK! So I worked long and hard and V O I L A………….A pumpkin on PUMPKIN (that is her name)

I have mentioned a couple of times (but probably not enough) about Shelly’s Share A Square Project. It is such a big undertaking and a wonderful idea. That lady has a heart the size of Texas! One of the reasons you have not been getting as many long, mind numbing posts from me, is because I am working of putting together one of the afghans for her.

Well, Shelly needs a bit more help . She has a lot of squares and people to help put them together, but not enough squares to let each child know that 48 different people cared enough to send them love squares. Now if you don’t crochet that is okay also, just let your readers know and tell your freinds and family, and surely you will run into someone who can crochet. We have squares from all over the world already, but we need a little more variety. Can you help and fast?
